7 of these start. The rest are on the bench...context ??

Stuart I’m not having this ridiculous argument with you. We’ve had 4 isolating until this game. Kaminski, Ayala and now Williams popped their groin IN GAME. Literally fuck all to do with Mowbray. No one’s fault. Dack and Trav out with knee ligament injuries...it’s just tough shit. But the fact is that there’s 7 players missing from our starting 11. It’s no ones fault.

Fuck me mate, none of us fancied Rovers tonight with the injuries and form we’ve been in. The opposition just had 20 shots at our goal and I made a point that IT WAS A FANTASTIC RESULT IN CONTEXT. It was.

So clever ????

Yup, the manager gives people COVID and ACL Injuries ???

Anyone who knows football knows that was a very good performance for the manager tonight. Unbelievable spirit...need to get our best players back

Fantastic result IN CONTEXT with the injuries...

Fantastic result in context with all the players we had missing. Defence resolute. Might be a very big point that come the end of the season! Well done the lads who played. Essentially their first team vs our second string. Another injury but we keep on fighting.

Rothwell for Dolan is the correct decision.

Kaminski, Ayala, Douglas, Travis, one of Johnson or Rothwell, Dack and Arma all START if they’re fit. 7 of the starting 11 out. Keep going lads!

Bang on.

Story of Readings season

I honestly don’t think Gallagher has retained possession as in passed to his own player once yet.

Lenihan again...☹️

Reading are undoubtedly the best team we’ve played. JRC has been better than Nyambe up until this game. Was in team of the week last week. Stop chatting shit mate.

Defence been very poor so far but Lenihan has been our poorest defender this season.

I think we were worse against Forest. The utter shambles of those goals has masked what a very good outfit these are. Reading are the best team we’ve faced and we’ve literally gift wrapped them 3 goals...FFS!!!

Defence all poor. 3 of the worst goals conceded you’ll see. Lenihan the worst of the lot. Reading the best team we’ve faced so far.

I don’t know why you would start Evans over Buckley at home against a team who will try to frustrate us.

???????‍♂️

Argh, when’s he back? The weekend?

Is Rothwell available on Tuesday?

With Forest in particular the abstractions were the biggest problem. Our flow was massively interrupted. We had chances against Cardiff and because we didn’t take them they never had to come at us....the extra quality HAS to change that for us.

100%....in the past we’ve struggled to beat teams who put a low block on simply because we didn’t have the quality to unlock the door. The Cardiff and Forest games followed this exact pattern too. We’ve got to find the quality to score and bring them out. Once they start coming onto us we’ll do them.

I agree...this is a big test of whether the new signings have improved us enough to create chances, take them and then draw these teams out! Any result is possible. I feel that IF we get the first goal then Reading will come at us and we’ll take them apart. Looking forward to it!
